Panică din cauza banalei salate în SUA. Americanii au început să evite chiar şi restaurantele, de teama ciclosporiazei

Consumers in the U.S. are avoiding certain restaurant chains and buying less lettuce due to fears from a Cyclospora outbreak. The FDA linked the outbreak to iceberg lettuce from Taco Bell, supplied by Taylor Farms, which has since recalled affected products. Despite this, cases continue to rise, leading to uncertainty about other potential sources of contamination. Traffic to Taco Bell and other salad chains has significantly decreased, with sales of fresh lettuce dropping by 9% recently. Retailers are reassessing their supply chains due to contamination fears, while producers like Little Leaf Farms are trying to reassure customers about their safe growing practices.
